12 Year Old Shot Inside Haltom City Home

A 12 year old was shot in the back by a 20 year old early Monday morning after he fired a gun inside a Haltom City home.
Officers responded to a shooting call on the 5300 block of Ira Street North and when they arrived they found a 12 year old girl in the restroom suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.
She was transported to Cook Children’s in serious condition.
The suspect was a 20 year old male that had fired the gun inside a bedroom closet and the bullet went through the wall striking the girl.
He then fled the scene before officers could arrive.
Detectives have made contact with the suspect but no arrest have been made at this time.
This investigation is ongoing.
